About the Author:
Chris Jakicic, EdD, served as principal of Woodlawn Middle School in Long Grove, Illinois, from its opening day in 1999 through the spring of 2007. Under her leadership, the staff shifted toward a collaborative culture focused on learning and implemented assessment for learning practices to shape their instructional strategies. Student motivation and performance also increased. Chris began her career teaching middle school science before serving as principal of Willow Grove Elementary in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, for nine years. Her experience as a practitioner guides her work with schools; she wants teachers to feel confident that they have the skills and the ability to make a difference for their students. Through her work with teachers and administrators across the United States, Chris emphasizes that effective teaming is the heart of PLCs. She also shares practical knowledge about how to use data conversations to interpret classroom information for effective instruction.
Chris has written articles for the Journal of Staff Development and Illinois School Research and Development Journal, detailing her experiences with common assessments and PLCs. She has worked as an adjunct instructor at National Louis University, as well as Loyola University Chicago, where she earned a doctor of education. She is also coauthor of Common Formative Assessment: A Toolkit for Professional Learning Communities at Work .
